5 Advanced - GUI problems - ID: 1876362

Last Update: Settings changed ( lafortune )

Details:

I see the following problems with the Advanced Settings in e.g. Shrinking:

1) The Section 'Allow' use Radio-Buttons. But the selection allows
Multiple-selection. Either they are not in a ButtonGroup OR they should be
Checkboxes (in case multiple select is possible)

2) The dialog is little bit toooooo long to fit on a standard 1024*768 res.
Wouldn't it be possible to place two of the bordered contents next to each
other? e.g. A simple Boxlayout with Row-Orientation which groups eg. Keep
and Allow, Annotation and Class, etc.

(And I have no quick idea, how to make it clear for the user.) 2) I have my troubles when a GUI does not provide the actions, a user thinks it would provide. Not really about inconsitence, that's everydays live. I have more the problem, when blaming the user to use the GUI incorrectly. Like in a calc, where you make a div by 0 and the calc turns off.... But to be more concrete about what are simple ways to achieve the functionallity resp. to avoid the problem: Main problem I see in the accessability of the Buttons + the minor issue that next time open the window, the size is memorized. I would suggest the following changes (either combined, or indpendently used, don't care) A) Put the whole Panel you have created on a JScrollPane. Then everything will be fine, the user can access the Buttons and Swing or AWT handles everything. B) Put the Button 'Basic Options' resp. 'Advanced Options' at the top of the Panel C) Do not memorize the Size of the Panel. I would vote for solution A) and would see it sufficient and very, very easy to implement it.

You should refrain from using advanced options on a small screen, or use configuration by text files, or use a window manager that allows you to easily move any large windows around.
